Marine Invertebrates
Marine invertebrates are animals that lack a backbone and inhabit saltwater environments. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from microscopic organisms like plankton to large creatures such as octopuses and jellyfish. Marine invertebrates play crucial roles in marine ecosystems as they serve as food sources for many marine species and help maintain the balance of marine environments. These animals have adapted to life in the ocean in a multitude of ways, showcasing diverse forms of locomotion, feeding strategies, and defensive mechanisms.
